red dress formal Luminous Spaghetti Straps Stretch Satin Open Back Prom formal or any special occasion Freesia Red Formal Maxi Dress

Ive got two words for you tan lines

A pair of capri pants (three quarter length) in a neutral colour (beige, navy, black or white) A blouse to go with the capri pants A comfortable pair of sandals A small wedge heel shoe A pair of ankle boots A silver pair of shoes for evening wear (silver goes with some many things and can be accessorised with silver jewellery and a silver evening clutch) A pair of sneakers A gorgeous trench coat (light or heavy depending on where in the world you live) If you keep these items updated in your wardrobe, in basic block colours as far as possible, you can then add the show pony pieces to go with them

Which brings us back to knowing just where to look for such hidden gems

I personally love this kind of dress for evening birthdays because it always stands out without needing much styling
